Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the history of one of nature's most devastating natural disasters and the long-lasting efforts to mitigate its risks. Beginning with the horrific 1977 dam failure in Georgia that resulted in the deaths of forty people, the author sheds light on the shocking reality of how many American dams were inadequately constructed and maintained in the 20th century. Furthermore, the author examines the never-ending efforts of conservationists and government agencies to work together to implement myriad dam safety regulations and programs across the United States. This book provides an overview of dam engineering, natural disasters, water management, the political process, and the complex relationship between humans and nature. Captivating and thoroughly researched, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American water infrastructure, the importance of environmental protection, and the often-overlooked role of civil engineers in keeping our communities safe This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
